"As the consumer appetite for video on demand grows, Freesat now offers viewer access to the four largest UK catch-up TV players, which account for 80% of long form on-demand viewing today," said Freesat managing director Emma Scott.

"We're delighted that Freesat viewers can now enjoy all their favourite catch-up TV in one place, for free."

Users require a Freesat box compatible with Free Time to gain access to the Channel 5 on-demand content.
